It's more engaging than I imagined Capital breakfast to be. Like others said, I haven't heard Roman much to compare it. It sounds like Sian and Chris have more leadership on air.

Global IS an advertising business - the radio shows just fit around the commercials.

End of week one.  It's a great show actually and whilst we'd probably like some more of "chaotic Jordan" it sounds close to flawless for a new show.  I am sure it helps a lot that Jordan already knew

I've never listened to capital. But if the adverts go on as long as they do on absolute, then you'll all be pissed off by 7am.

on the grid.

I can't listen at the moment, is it the same jingles as Roman's show but with Jordan's name? Or completely new sound?  Has he got an into like Greg? 

The intro is very similar to Greg's, I don't know about the other questions because I never listened to Roman.

Even with Roman, Sian and Chris took ownership of a lot of the features with the “senior host” very much anchoring.

Shows how little I listened! There's a lot of music, as per usual, but evidently that's Capital style. It's certainly an easy listen.

Jordan confusing Skepsis and sepsis 🤣

Not sure how many of those we'll get - he seems to have a much more professional stance here.

One thing is clear there's a lot of choice for Radio 1 listeners of a certain age if they did want something different. I could happily listen to Moyles or Jordan, Global's offering has certainly improved.

He had been a little too slick up to then.

So far it’s all safe and commercial but a decent listen.

Do you mean they have a long into like Greg or that actual jingles sounds very much like Greg jingles?

Is there a way to get the "HD" 192kbps stream of Capital on your computer? I'm finding the 48kbps stream hard to listen to. It feels like I'm listing on AM!

Doesn't allow you to rewind to the beginning of the show, but you can listen live

Listening to the whole show it was actually a great fresh listen.  It was very very busy with lots of first show stunts but still little nods to the Jordan we loved on Radio 1.

Also, immediately he feels at ease with Chris and Asian.

He definitely feels more slick and professional though.

It’s a different Jordan North to Vick and Jordan and Chris has matured since Radio 1 hasn’t he?!

It’s definitely all much slicker and more corporate but hints of the old them which might emerge when show is less busy than today.

Personally I'm not a fan of the "Capital Breakfast" sung jingles - sounds very old school, a bit like the "capital breakfast show" sung jingles when the Capital Network first started in ~2011. (Overall I think the Capital production sounds a lot worse with the new voiceovers than it did with Howard Ritchie)

Also, strangely no mention at all of "The UK's number 1 hit music station" on any of the TOHs or out of break jingles. Could Capital be getting ready for a new slogan, trying to fit in more with the older audience they seem to be chasing recently?

It’s more like the pre-2023 long intro of R1 Breakfast - I also prefer that version over the short version they’re currently using.

I hope so, I listened to the whole show. It just seemed like a different Jordan but as you say it was a busy show.

They just wanted a very big song and dance - and it seems they certainly had it with Jordan doing Greatest Showman. Hard to argue with him for taking the job given the resource they've put into the launch!

But agree, will be interested to see how it develops over the coming weeks.

I wasn't able to listen this morning, I'll have to listen back as I'm interested to see what the chemistry was like between Jordan, Chris and Sian. And whether Jordan naturally slid into main presenter mode at a new station.

I just saw the clip of the marching band on Insta, and they really have gone all out for it. It was like a much bigger version of Greg's red arrows when he started his breakfast show.

The town crier was very much a Chris Stark classic I thought, and gave me flashbacks of all those sorts of things he did on Radio 1.

I am a huge fan of Greg, but given how much I miss the pairing of Scott and Chris, if Jordan and Chris turn out to be as good a duo I could be swayed. I wish there was a podcast!

I really don't know which to listen to in the morning, Jordan & Chris or Greg?

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now
